can you spell w r o n g ?
the BI Pro series (MCR120) does beat any comparably sized 2" thick heater core at reasonable noise levels
where have you been this last month ?
you are stuck in the past, it seems you missed Cathar's rad posts
HW Labs sells direct, why should I improve my competitors' products ?
I do not believe that brass/copper rads are inherently superior to copper. Spend $350 for a Lytron rad and you'll be converted - IF performance is your thing
or spend $90 or so for a Japanese aluminum heater core
you've been 2 days with this, I'm gonna pass now

Bill I doubt your point about copper superiority applying in a rad.
IMO, copper beat Al in air heatsink for its more conductive ability cause the fins of a heatsink is usually 3~4cm high, the heat spread on the fins of hinksink make the diff, therefore copper fins can spread heat more uniformity.
but for a rad, diff case it is. the thickness of the tube of a HC or BIX is not more than .5mm I guess. so it won't bring a distinct temp diff when moving from brass or Al to Copper. what make the heat spread along the brass tube effectively? not the material of the tube but the velocity of the flow inside the tube.
and don't forget the "huge" heat exchange area for a rad, and this make the watt per square cm quite low, which can lower the temp diff 2.
I have compared a BIX2 and Dtek procore, for my single cpu(AMDxp@2.33g/1.875V) heat load, bix2 beat procore by only 2~3c(at most), not bad but still a shame for a 2 fans holder.
